I'm working on the cooling system in my 3-FE - FJ62. I removed the studs while replacing my water pump, replaced everything with new parts, and reassembled everything. When I tried to tighten the studs, one of them turned loose and threaded the block. I'm not sure how bad it is, anyone have...

Seems to be the general theme. I dropped off 2 old rads at the shop so i'll see what the guy says. I bought a second hand one about 8 months ago, when my original one started leaking. It apparently came off a low-miler, but I don't think it was flushed out property and the bottom as was you...

As it starts to warm up in Canada, the truck is coming out of hibernation. I have the radiator out at the moment, as it's constantly leaking - will get it reconditioned at a local rad shop In the next few days. My question is while it is out, what are some of the other maintenance items...

Thanks, guys. I'll look into it that 👍

I took my truck for a drive over the weekend and noticed that I can hear a slight clatter at low RPM. It's faint but makes my gas 3FE sound like a diesel around the 1.5k RPM mark. Sound does not go away at running temp. It seems to subside higher RPM but this could just be the engine noise...

45700 - DAMPER ASSY, STEERING as per the link @OSS shared. I ended up just buying a cheap OEM-style replacement. $45cad... not bad. Should get me back on the road - I'll let you know if it's garbage. Stabilizer Cylinder by MONROE/EXPERT

Yea, that’s what I’ve been reading. They are also MUCH cheaper too! Thanks for the advice 👍

Im in the middle of doing the TRE on my FJ62 and noticed that there is little to no resistance on my steering damper... Is this normal? Does it only soften/dampen under load? Is it time for a new one? Thanks for advance

I'm planning out a bit of rust repair this weekend and to my HORROR found at least 2L of water in my QP. The truck is new to me so I have no idea how long it's been sat there... How much damage has it caused? There is also a faint smell of gas in the quarter panel as well? Perhaps the water has...

lol! bring on the money pit! 🔥

@RockDoc You should see the other side - she's flakier than a chicken schnitzel. I think the C channel will need to be replaced as well, the frame is solid from what I can see. I'm going to start a thread on here to help me get a laundry list going. Thanks for the suggestion, ill be sure to...

Hey gang, I'm a long-time forum user, first-time posting in this community! So far I am impressed with the level of detail that hides within this site, I figured this would be the best place to ask for advice as I need it. So, I just bought an FJ62. She's rough... some call it rust, I call...
